Update on Grant

This might be quite rambly, if that is even a word, because I have very limited time without a screaming baby in my arms.

Thursday:
Grant went to the Pediatric Surgery Center for an EGD, (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy). I think that this is basically an upper endoscopy. He also had a 24 hour pH probe placed. After we went home, he was an absolute angel. He had very little symptoms. I even called the doctor that night to ask if we should keep it in longer since he seemed to not have any episopes.

camera phone, sorry so bad

Friday:
We had the pH probe removed.

Weekend:
Grant has cried most of the weekend. He is miserable. There is nothing that we do that helps. It is truly breaking my heart as well as my spirits. It is taking a huge toll on our family, including Cade. This is hard!

Tuesday:
Dr. Argao called back.

• On a scale of 1-10, Grant is an 8. He said that he isn't sure if he has seem a child with reflux this severe that doesn't spit up. He also thinks that the number might have been higher if it wasn't for any residual anesthesia effects.


• He has suggested Grant to take Reglan. This drug carries a Black Box Warning, and I am scared for him to take it. The Dr. was very upfront about the risks, but said that we are running out of options. I am going to pick it up this afternoon, by I am not certain that we will start it.


• He said if this doesn't work, we could try cereal in his bottles again, but ultimately surgery would be the next option.

I just called the doctor back to discuss this a little more.
